Storage companies are betting a technology once reserved for businesses will appeal to consumers dealing with large files shared by multiple PCs and a need for data protection.
The SmartStor NS4600 ticks the required feature boxes for being a NAS, but is in dire need of an interface overhaul and some features simply don't work.
The ReadyNAS NVX is a highly capable network storage appliance that will work equally well in a small or medium-sized business or at home.
The QNAP TS-509 Pro comes highly recommended it's a flexible NAS with an interface that's gaining usability as time goes on.
With the ReadyNAS Pro, Netgear has proven it's still king of the hill. However, some interface quirks, inelegant recovery from catastrophic volume failure, and poor volume, user and share management may put some users off.
The Thecus N5200 Pro is definitely a higher end NAS, and will benefit power users and tweakers a lot more than entry-level users.
